Dit is wat Bendis te zeggen heeft over de Death of Spider-Man verhaallijn: “As a group and as individuals we have made a conscious effort to create stories this year that no one has ever seen before. I am very, very proud to be a part of this storyline and very proud of Marvel for even attempting such a bold endeavor. Sit back and watch as we unveil a storyline unlike any other!!”

Waarop Mark Millar, schrijver van Ultimate Avengers, het volgende had toe te voegen: “This is the biggest, boldest thing we’ve attempted in the ten years since we kicked this line off. This is the one thing that could be bigger than the CREATION of the Ultimate line and it’s great to be a part of it. Being part of something like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and soon you’ll all get to read the story we’ve written for you, This should be up there with the very small number of events that really mattered. This is going to be big.”
